Study Notes
Skeletal System
- Wrist bones (carpus): Trapezium, trapezoid, scaphoid, capitate, triquetrum, pisiform, hamate, and lunate.
- Hand bones (metacarpals): 5 metacarpals, numbered 1 to 5 from thumb to pinky.
- Fingers (phalanges): Each finger has 3 phalanges: proximal, middle, and distal. Thumb has only 2 phalanges.
- Forearm bones: Radius and ulna.
- Parts of the radius: Radial tuberosity, neck, head
- Parts of the ulna: Olecranon process, coronoid process.
- Elbow: The articulation between the humerus, radius, and ulna.
- Wrist: The articulation between the radius and ulna, with carpals.
- Hand: Articulation between metacarpals and proximal phalanges.
- Arm: The proximal end of the forearm, leading to the elbow.
- Forearm: The section between the elbow and the wrist.
